Take up mason beekeeping

Spring is the ideal time to incorporate non-stinging mason bees into your backyard or outdoor environment. Mason bees are solitary, meaning there is no queen bee, and all the females are fertile. They are prolific pollinators that can provide an interactive and educational outdoor experience for the family.

Rent Mason Bees in Bothell lets you host the bees during peak pollinating season, without worrying about the upkeep of bees for the rest of the year. The website includes additional educational information for children.

We’ve highlighted more beekeeping tips for families, and this is the perfect time to get started. Remember, mason bees don’t sting!
